D Correct answer
Explanation

Preponderate means to exceed in amount, weight, power, or influence. It indicates superiority or dominance in quantity or importance. Outweigh directly captures this meaning of being greater in weight, importance, or number. The other options (ward, saint, lover) are unrelated to the concept of exceeding or dominating.
